Essentially, I'm a middle-aged (51) self-employed hyphenate
(writer-programmer-translator). BA in Honors English with professional
experience in newspapers, radio, TV, film, book publishing. Also
cultivated a strong interest in languages (read well over a dozen).
Began writing batch files and macros from the time I first started using
a PC daily in the mid 80s and more recently progressed to learning
compiled (Pascal, C/C++, Java) and scripting (JavaScript, HTML, Icon,
Perl, Lisp) languages.
OS/2 user since late '93. Also have Win32 and Linux systems on my
machines, but Warp remains my OS of choice.
Web addict since late 95, and last year installed an ethernet here
(home-office) which has given me the beginnings of a hands-on
understanding of network computing.
Coauthor (did the technical annotations) with Jeff Frentzen and Dewayne
McNair, JavaScript Annotated Archives, Osborne/McGraw-Hill, Berkeley,
1998.
Heavily involved during the past year with Warpzilla, OS/2 port of
Mozilla: maintaining our builds (emx+gcc/pgcc and VAC++), helping others
build, releasing GeckOS/2 binaries and spinoffs (Netscape Portable
Runtime library, standalone JavaScript 1.4).
Have also done work on the graphics facilities of the OS/2 version of
Icon 9.3.1 as well as porting the current version of Berkeley DB.
